Aerospace

A year back I was a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol (cap) cadet program. The program had many benefits, it could get you into collage, could even start you 3 ranks up in the army navy or air force. But I quit because of all the immaturity. But I had good times, like the time I helped at the Milwaukee air water show, it was fun helping, and the air sow was AWESOME!!!!!

the lotery

The symbolism in the lottery is very intense, first the book is about a lottery were the winner gets killed, but before the killing is reviled the author does a lot of foreshadowing. Long before readers understood what the lottery really was, it mentioned that the kids were gathering rocks. At first is sounds like playing, but later the winner gets stoned. When the lottery was coming close to an end lots of people in the story would say "I hope its not…" witch hinted that it wasn't a lottery that people have today. And last, the black dot on the piece of paper, the black dot could be just a dot, but that was the symbol of the winner, or the one who would die.

themes

Themes are a book because most of the text refers to the them. If the theme is romance than the book is going to be about romance. There are tones of themes to pick from, love, they can be in a certain timeline, or they can be leaving a place for hope, just like in the book "the absolute true diary of a part time Indian."

In the book, the main character junior attends an all native American school and gets picked on for his problems that he was born with. Everything changes when his teacher tells him that there is no hope at the reservation that he lives on and if he wants a bright future he needs to leave.

Junior does leave and starts to attend an all white school, but the problems don't stop. Junior starts to lose all his friends and has a hard time making new friends. But he still looks forward to the future he dreams of. By going to this school he has a better chance of getting to collage and getting a successful carrier.

The hope junior is looking for is also the same hope his sister was looking for, only things didn't work out for her. juniors sister went to a casino and met a man she married, and then left the reservation very quickly. after she got settled in, she had a party witch lead to a house fire, killing her and her husband.
In the end, his hope of finding a carrier turns up. His report card comes with great grades. His old best friend becomes his friend again and they hang out like they use too. When he tried out for basket ball he had a great time and performed well.

Cause and effect

Different events shape different futures. Main events are important to a book because the shape what's going to happen next. For example if a if a fight happens a war starts, with more fights and hatred. The opposite of that happens in the book "the absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian" by Sherman Alexie.

The book is about a Native American named Junior boy who transfers schools. At first he gets picked on by a high school jock named Roger. Roger tells Junior the most raciest thing Junior has herd so Junior punches him in the face. Junior tells Roger that there going to finish the fight. But nothing happens. At this point Junior is very confused and he goes to his very wise grandma. She tells him that maybe Roger respects you. And he did. Roger maid it on Juniors list of most important list of people they become good friends and become basket ball players together. Without that event Junior probably wouldn't have had the cortege to try out for varsity, he would defanitly still be picked on, and he would have a girl friend.

Themes

Theme is always an important part of a book. The whole book revolves around the them. Themes can be love, friendship, or leaving a place to find hope just like in the book "The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie.

On page 43, the main the main character Junior, and he teacher talk after school about an incident that happened in class. Instead of yelling, he gives him advice, he tells him that you are going to find more and more hope the farther and farther you walk away from this sad, sad, sad reservation. And Junior takes his advice by transferring schools. After he transferring a different theme opens up, betrayal.


When he leaves, his home town hates him and his new school picks on him for his race. Having his home town think that Junior betrayed them shapes a lot of his book, like a lot of it is getting over his lost best friend.

If Junior was this room

If I where to see the main character Junior from the book "the absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian" he would look as poor as the dirt. Because he is poor, he's going to look poor. If Junior walked by he would smell worse than cheep wine. Junior's dad was a alcoholic, his mom was an alcoholic, and his dad is going to drown in alcohol.


Junior is a nice guy so if I got to know him he would be kind, probably the nicest kid in the school. He isn't a bad kid unless you disrespect him. For example on page 65 a high school jock tells him the most racist thing junior heard, so he punched him in the face. But instead of starting a war, friendship starts.
